He revealed his newborn caught an ear infection from her sisters Willow and Charlie, and now they’re “just waiting to get her blood tests back.”
Two days after Sam broke the news of Harper’s illness, the family returned to the hospital for additional care.
The former Bachelor posted a picture of Snez cradling their daughter on the hospital bed with a tube attached to her face.
“Back again. Oh you’re a little trooper Harper and Fkn super mum!!” he wrote.
“Back again.”

Sam broke the news on Instagram by writing alongside a picture of Snez holding Harper, “30 minutes after this photo was taken. Snez became sick. Really sick and before we knew it Harper was off to the special care unit and Mum was into ICU.”
He continued on to gush over his wife’s strength when Harper was taken away for treatment, “Of course, in true Snez Mum fashion, her only thoughts were for her little baby, and it was breaking her heart that she couldn’t hold her.”
